The rule which you are referring to (containing sd*) is not the example rule, 
thats actually part of the "footnote" section explaining some different 
scenario's.

Would you mind re-reading the section titled "Example: Writing a rule for my 
USB-Storage digital camera"?
In that section I explain the importance of a key such as KERNEL="sd?1", and 
if you had followed this section while writing your rule, I think you may have 
avoided the problems you describe in this thread.
If that still does not clear it up for you, let me know, and I'll see if there 
is a way I can improve the wording there.

Thanks

Daniel
